Red Wing by the local Scandinavian So
cieties and clubs in union with the So

GRAND FORKS, OAK.
At Grand Forks to-day the Norwe-
gians have arranged for a grand sgt
tendemai meeting" The different ma
tiOnalitieS up there have been keeping
pretty distinctly apart from each other.
But, Judging from the prominent part
which the Scandinavians took in the
'anti-coerciOn meeting" lately held at
Grand Forks, it may be predicted that
the Irish-Americans in return will par
take there in the Norwegian celebration
of the 18th of May. The orator, our
townsman, Rev. christopher Janson,
surely will make the Grand Forks audi
ence thrill with emotional enthusiasm,
as he lets loose OH the glorious NOrWe-
gian birthday"
EAU CLAIRE, WIS.
Wisconsin, at an early period, was the
principal stronghold of the Scandinav-
ians in America. 1t is still the home of
vast number of Norwegians, and this
year Eau Claire is on hand with quite
an extensive programme in the line of
''Syttendemai programmes" The Nor
wegian orator, author and critic, Rev.
Erik l.. Peterson, of Faribault, will de-
liver the speech of the day.
THE SWEDISH BROTHERS.
The society of the Swedish Broth
erS" will join in the 18th of May parade
at Minneapolis, headed as it will be by
the Sidwell's band. So will also the
Norden society and the Swedish guard.
The Dania society also partakes in the
march and festivities to-day. 1t is i'm
possible to name all the societies that
will partake in the demonstration DE
cause it is not known beforehand eX-
actly how many but it might be pointed
out here, as fair token of a better
understanding between the three Sean
dinavian natiOnalities, that the harmony
and good will displayed to-day shows an
attainment never before owned by Sean
dinavians in this state.

Stay Laws.

We learn that one of the independ.
cnt candidates for the Legislature
in this county has exhibited his
ignorance by announcing that he will
favor the passage Of a law STAYING
the collection Of debts. We Thought
before that this old and hackueved
alpeal To the debtor class was long
since. worn out; we hoped that there
was too much good sense in Lincoln
county even for such a candidate TO
be found.
Every body EXCEPT this ignorant
candidate knows that the Constitu-
ton of the State provides that "all
courts shall be open, and every
person, for an injury done him in his
lsuds, goods, person or reputation,
shall have remedy by due course OF
law, and right and justice admins
tered without sale, denial or delay
1t further provides that the Supreme
and Circuit Courts shall be held at
least twice in each year. These
constitutional provisions, the High
Court Of Errors and appeals Of this
State twenty.one years ago decided,
are an absolute prohibition upon
the Legislature to pass stay laws.

Must Have Imagined Himself IN

xGov. Francis Nichols, the
brave patriot who championed the
overthrow OF the carpet bag Repub
lican Government of Louisiana,
made a speech at Zachary, La, last
week, and from the following extract
he must have imagined himself in
Mississippi:
Why, my friends, some Of the
highest apostles of the latter-day
Democracy were at one time howl
ing radicals, and not so long ago
either. BY some mysterious process
some of them have become absolute
dispensers of Democratic patronage,
and absolute directors of the judg-
ment of the Democratic leaders.
Many of them have succeeded, cnck-
90 like in getting into Democratic
nest which they did not make; yet,
unlike the cuckoo, they were not
content with getting into it, but
they befoul the nest itself and those
who assisted in making it-as it
now appears-for their benefit.
